Article new enough (04 Jul 12), long enough (2888 characters prose) and no copyright violation/plagiarism concerns. Hook format and length (145 characters) OK. It might be more interesting to include Australian Olympic Committee intervention - I've added hook ALT1 above as a suggestion. AusTerrapin (talk) 07:48, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Ah. :D Yes. That does work better. Happy with Alt1. :D --LauraHale (talk) 08:24, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Hook Alt 1 good to go - Another one to save for the Olympics? Alt 1 is 190 displayed characters and is more compelling than the original hook (it has the interest factor of a national Olympic Committee intervening on an athlete's behalf against the the national governing body for the athlete's sport).

Thanks. :) And saving for the Olympics nice. Would appreciate but not required of my Olympic ones. --LauraHale (talk) 20:30, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
